The Board found that the termination of nonservice-connected pension benefits effective February 1, 2008, was proper due to unreported income exceeding the maximum applicable pension rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to report his income and did not respond to VA's requests for additional information, leading to a determination that his income exceeded the allowable limit for pension benefits.
